2008-11-21T22:00:37+00:00

We round off the week in transfer rumors with the biggest rumor of the week by far. Oh, and Newcastle are still looking for a left back too. Manchester City to Make January Move for Buffon? Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon is high on Manchester City's January wish list, and he could be the subject [.

Weekly Picks - 11/21/2008

2008-11-21T21:00:42+00:00

My picks have been a bit off recently, and that's putting a generous light on the situation. So, it seems obvious that the only way to avoid being generically wrong is to be specifically correct. Therefore, not only am I going to predict the scorelines for this week, I will even give you, my dear readers, a Nostradamus-esque view into specific moments from the coming weekend.

Who Really Has The Most Injuries?

2008-11-21T16:53:31+00:00

Tomorrow the Premier League is back and I am getting used to more and more people coming up with the excuse that their team has the most injuries. Today I have been searching to find out who really has the most injuries? Is it Manchester United? Is it Arsenal? I can tell you that the club (right [...

Premiership Predictions Week 14: Arsenal and Spurs to Bounce Back

2008-11-21T11:00:29+00:00

Saturday, 22 November 2008 Chelsea v Newcastle, 15:00 Newcastle have no away wins this season, and won't be getting their first at Stamford Bridge. Especially with Joey Barton out for two months with bad karma knee ligaments. Nicolas Anelka (eight goals in his last four games) could face Newcastle on his own here and probably get a [.

2008-11-14T16:00:56+00:00

Saturday, 15 November 2008 Bolton v Liverpool, 12:45 Steven Gerrard's right foot vs Jussi Jaaskelainen's incredible octopus impression. Quite a contest, but Bolton's two match winning streak ends here. And Rafa Benitez will insist on using the word "jes" in his post-match interview. Odds: Bolton 5-1, Draw 13-5, Liverpool 8-13 Prediction: 0-1 Arsenal v Aston Villa, 15:00 John Carew has a [.

Just look at that beautiful smile. The lovely Lauri Cox is this weeks little darling. Lauri is a Sports Therapist student and supports her home team Middlesbrough and has been a season ticket holder for the last 10 years. She even went to the UEFA Cup Final a few years back, now that's commitment.

The Race for Axel Witsel: Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Middlesbrough or Bolton?

2008-11-12T14:44:52+00:00

Axel Witsel has been linked with several Premier League sides in recent weeks, with Arsenal, Manchester United, Middlesbrough, Bolton and even Manchester City in the mix, even though the player is predominantly an attacking midfielder (right-sided but can play center and left, like Nani) and most teams linked to the Standard Liege midfielder are looking [.

10 Things We Learned in the Premier League: Manuel Almunia is Smarter Than He Looks

2008-11-10T12:00:39+00:00

1. Manuel Almunia is smarter than he looks (maybe) Have a look about 1:20 into this video: When Mikael Silvestre played him a dreadful backpass, Manuel Almunia handled the ball. You can't do that, so indirect free-kick. Either Almunia is an idiot who doesn't understand the backpass rule, or... he's very shrewd and decided that conceding an [.

Samir Nasri Sinks Man Utd

2008-11-08T21:36:42+00:00

Arsenal re-introduced themselves to the Premier League title race today by beating Man Utd 2-1 at the Emirates. Two super strikes from young Samir Nasri (one deflected, the other clean as a whistle) were the difference, with Utd getting a not very consoling consolation goal through Rafael Da Silva. If Aston Villa can beat Middlesbrough tomorrow, [.

Premiership Predictions Week 12: Arsenal to Drop Out of the Top Four

2008-11-07T17:22:21+00:00

Saturday, 8 November 2008 Arsenal v Man Utd, 12:45 With Walcott, Gallas, Sagna, Adebayor and Eboue all doubtful and Robin van Persie injured, we could be seeing Arsenal's Carling Cup team at the Emirates. That might work against Sheffield United, but it won't work against Manchester United. Odds: (win/draw/win) Gunners 2-1, Draw 9-4, Man Utd 11-8 Prediction: 2-0 to [.

Cheesey Money Money Money Man City

2008-11-03T21:29:00+00:00

Man City, the richest club in the World, cannot buy an away win in the Premiership apart from their one and only win at Sunderland when they won 3-0. Since then City have lost at Villa 4-2, Bolton (yesterday) 2-0, Middlesboro 2-0, drew in Toon Land 2-2 and lost at Wigan 2-1.

Does Robinho really understand and know where he is?

Middlesbrough 1-1 West Ham - Video Highlights

2008-11-03T08:30:03+00:00

Middlesbrough and West Ham failed to do much at Riverside, with a late Mido strike canceling out the early Mullins goal. Draws are not what they need, both teams need to improve if they want to be in the top 10 come May 2009. "Middlesbrough 1-1 West Ham - Video Highlights" was originally published at Soccerlens.

Weekend Matchups Preview

2008-10-31T16:56:52+00:00

After a midweek that saw two fantastic finishes, a couple upsets, and a few solid performances, I feel that those games definitely equaled, if not surpassed the expectations coming into them. We saw Tottenham, down 4-2 with 5 minutes to play, score 2 goals to tie it, at Arsenal. Just as exciting, we then saw [.

Photo: SWP Gives Gareth Southgate the Finger(s)

2008-10-31T16:00:11+00:00

Have you ever played football with or against someone you know to be perfectly nice, only to see them turn into a raging animal on the field? Football does the strangest things to people. Take miniature Man City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips and 'Boro boss Gareth Southgate for example. Two of the more mild-mannered men in [.

Premiership Predictions Week 11: Spurs to Beat Liverpool

2008-10-31T11:00:56+00:00

Saturday, 1 November 2008 Everton v Fulham, 12:45 Looks like an Everton win, until you realize the Toffees have only picked up two home points this season. And Andy Johnson (finally) found his shooting boots on Wednesday, so maybe he'll do a Bentley against his old employers. He's 250-1 for a hat-trick.

Detoxing the dream

2008-10-29T12:26:40+00:00

I'm doing a detox. No fatty foods, white bread, sweet things, chocolate, especially no chocolate. I've got headaches, sweaty palms and I'm drenched in copious amounts of masking perfumes. A detox is meant to be good for you, it's meant to be. But I'm not finished yet, I'm taking out the unhealthy, unvirtuous things in life and adding one more.

Premiership Predictions: Week 10

2008-10-29T02:00:22+00:00

Wednesday, 29 October 2008 Arsenal v Tottenham, 20:00 This has to be one of the most interesting north London derbies for a long while. Arsenal clearly have the better team of footballers (well, they do) but Spurs have the Redknapp bounce (or the Judas bounce, depending on who you ask). The former might outweigh the latter.

Midweek Match-Ups Preview

2008-10-28T19:40:02+00:00

After this past weekend's outcomes, it is safe to say that several teams dubbed it "the revival." Tottenham got their first win of their season under their new manger, Harry Redknapp. Everton played well at home and was able to draw Manchester United. Hull won big at West Brom to prove that they are no [.

Blackburn and Middlesbrough errors cancelled out as Arsenal and Liverpool vie for title

2008-10-27T18:30:09+00:00

Paul Ince's Blackburn Rovers established their place as this season's Right Result regulars with their sixth and seventh incidents of the new campaign in Saturday's draw with Middlesbrough. Visiting forward Tuncay will be rueing his luck as his spectacular goal first-half was wrongly disallowed for offside.

Premiership Predictions: Week 9

2008-10-24T10:00:04+00:00

Saturday, 25 October 2008 Everton v Man Utd, 12:00 Poor David Moyes. All he wants is for Everton's season to turn around so he can start enjoying that massive new salary. But the damn Premier League fixture computer keeps pitting The Toffees against teams with bigger and better squads. Better luck next week David.

Saturday Match-Ups Preview

2008-10-23T15:00:30+00:00

It will be interesting to see what this Saturday's games bring. Since Premiership action kicks off not only at the weekend but also midweek, teams will be faced with difficult personnel decisions. What teams will give key players a break? What role players will step up and take charge to help gain momentum for their [.

What Impact Is The Credit Crunch Having On Premier League Attendances?

2008-10-22T10:00:21+00:00

How are attendances at Premier League clubs being affected, if at all, by the Credit Crunch this season? Based on research compiled by EPL Talk comparing the percentage difference between the average attendance season to date and last season's average attendance, we can reveal that average attendances haven't been affected that much at all, which is [.
